Quiet park. Big spaces btwn campsites. We were in #98. Long pullthrough that could easily hold multiple tents and trailers. We pull a 43 foot 5th wheel with 5 slides and just fit btwn electric box on oneside and the covered patio on the other side. Spot has water electric table grill fire ring. The bathrooms were full of cobwebs so didn't use showers. No camp volunteers at this Corps.

Cottonwood campground is a great place to camp. Site is close to water with clean bath house nearby and covered picnic table. Had good experience fishing near the campsite.

The campsites were in good condition! Busy weekend with lots of campers. Our neighbor had too many dogs but they were generally well behaved. There we no camp hosts and all arrangements had to be made online but that worked well. Was kinda sad that the gardens at the overlook and at the check-in station were totally uncared for but maybe they are short of people for this. Great experience generally.

Enjoyed another four nights in my RV. Nice place only 60 miles from home. Will go back again.

No one at the gate. Only saw one ranger during our 8 day stay. Now they tell us we can't reserve a spot more than four days ahead. Ceiling falling down in the handicapped shower in the men's shower room, and 30 amp electricity in our spot didn't work. No one ever addressed any of these problems. Probably won't be back.

Thank you for putting gravel down on the pads. We appreciate all that the new manager is trying to do after years of neglect. Would love to see camp hosts back or more of a ranger presence. Nonetheless, Cottonwood Point provides the best camping in Kansas. Thanks for all you do.

Sites were very nice. Water and Electric were a bit far away, most people water and electrical are on the drivers side, middle to rear. You need front service to use these without an additional hose or drop line.

We have been camping here for years. With attendees checking us in. Alway enjoy staying a weekend and sometimes a whole week. But this year It felt weird not checking in and no game wardens around. Kinda felt security was lacking.
